Default computer help needed

Afternoon all hope your well and Merry christmas and all that

The help i need is quite simple

I have 2 20" monitors for my PC that i want to use at the same time (extended desktop etc)

Now the issue is that my PC only has a single output for the monitor . i dont want to change the PC or video card etc

I need a switch box or something , Now i want to have both screens on at the same time how do i do it and what do i need to buy and from where

Many thanks in advance for your help

You can get splitters, but its totally pointless, as you end up with 2 screens with the same thing on both, so defeats the object of using dual screens. Only way is to buy a grakka that has two outputs.

then no as it has onboard graphics with no upgrade available... unless your really lucky and find a pci card ... (not pci-e)
